United computer glitch delays 100s of LAX flights

LOS ANGELES 
The lines are moving again at the United Airlines terminal at Los Angeles International Airport after a more than five hour nationwide computer outage left hundreds of passengers stuck on the ground.

Airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles says United began processing passengers shortly after 10 p.m. Friday when the airline announced that its systems were up and running again. The outage began at about 5:30 p.m.

Castles says 32 outbound flights were delayed and two flights - one to San Francisco and one to London - were canceled. She says the affected flights will all get off the ground Friday evening or early Saturday.

She says passengers were orderly and patient and no problems were reported.
